Re: [mh] Impossible to sync all insteon links routines

Sorry for chiming in late. I don’t think there were many insteon changes with some of the last releases. The stuff I did mainly focused on ia7, homebridge, razberry, yeelights — so I don’t think there’s much value in reverting.

My insteon stuff works, is sometimes flakey though, scanning link table sometimes takes multiple tries. But it all works, I probably have around 20 or so devices.  

Kevin any comments about this: https://github.com/TD22057/insteon-mqtt ?  It seems current and MH does have MQTT support.
